Advance payment: the customer pays before the work starts

In Saudi Arabia VAT is due when the money is received, even before the work is done, so an advance payment needs an invoice when it is received, then is deducted from the final invoice with a reference to it.

For now the system cannot send that special form to ZATCA, so once linked it refuses:

• an invoice of type Advance payment invoice;
• any invoice with an Advance deduction (keep that field at zero).

If you use advance payments, contact us to enable them.
